Well, this was a different show.
Porky/Guapos was the same match they’ve been doing for months, except a different finish. Hilarious that they teased a retirement stipulation which they promptly ignored, when their next big match has a retirement stipulation. There’s little long term planning here. There are ideas, there’s stuff people are doing for their own feuds, but no one’s looking at the entire picture.
Legion/AAA was the same match they’ve been doing with Super Fly. Not only does Super Fly get killed all match long, he no longer gets to do that makes him exciting. He just gets to do one ‘rana a match, and they hope people remember he won. Which is less likely when they’re still beating him up after the loss, running a big angle with X-Pac’s return, and then teasing the Zorro/Konnan split after the win.
Earlier this week, when Martha Villalobos was complaining about foreigners coming in and killing wrestling, I think people might have lept to the assumption that she meant guys like Jack and Teddy. After watching the main event here, I’d think she meant the Canadian and Puerto Rician here. This was completely and total garbage, everything I hate about wrestling, and over 40 minutes long when you factor in the less than effective post match stuff. If this is what passed for good, then wrestling has passed me by.
It’d be good if someone taught these two the rules of an AAA cage match before they did another one. Then again, it’d be good if someone taught them to sell for more than a second, and that sure ain’t happening. Not that Vamp is any more responsible for this business decaying face than the other one, but I’m so happy that he appears to be fading back out of here just so there’s no chance of another match any time soon.
I didn’t upload a video, because I didn’t want a video, but the show is here; I’ve cut out the first 20 minutes of recaps from last week to save the bits.
I didn’t like the main event either. It went too long. You know how Gala airs a shitload of commercials and you wish they wouldn’t? Well during this match, I was BEGGING Gala to air a break and the first one didn’t come on until about the first 20-25 minutes of the match.
Amen to that.
Cubs and Alfredo already said what I wanted to say about the actual show but I’ll add a few of my own ponters.
I hated how the show started with a video package with a depressing EMO rock song that has nothing to do with what we’re seeing, being played. For fucks sake this isn’t a US indy show.
TNA used that same song awhile back for one of their PPVs.
@Kyle: Goes to show that Konnan is trying to Americanize AAA
Yes Daniel, Konnan picked out the song. He’s not only booking the american talent, he does production too.
@Tim: you’re right
The guy who used to do production for TNA is doing the AAA work now so it’s no surprise.
@Rob: That explains why a lot of the AAA video packages resemble TNA ones.
Well I actually enjoy the AAA video packages. They help the product look a lot more professional.
@Rob: That explains why they still do crowd shots and miss certain points of matches.
Yeah. Many times, it’s the same crowd shot over and over again.
Konnan is trying to turn AAA into WCW, lets just call it what it is. AAA is the mexican answer to WCW.
And is it me or is the Dark Family going on their own? I don’t see Charly Manson going back with them.
